That doesn't sound right to me. If there's no air, then only black body radiation can be used to cool the data center. That means a massive radiator, a lot larger than a heat-to-air radiator+fan used on earth.

Putting a data center on the moon is not the real business.

The real business is the fake contracting companies the founders own who will hoover up all the contracts, do a lot of on-paper contracting making the founders very wealthy before the fake lunar business goes bankrupt.

Unfortunate that this is how pessimistic a startup forum is, but it’s no fault of yours and I don’t think you’re wrong.

It's a startup forum. People commenting here have real world experience with startups. Might they not be commenting on what they see and know?
